Political Archaeology

David Sanger of the New York Times has an excellent article on how the executive branch of our government has changed over the course of the Bush administration.  He talks to several Clintonites who are involved in the Obama transition that note that the Defense and National Security apperatus has grown immensely.  He also takes a rather deep look at the video-on-demand technology which Bush has had access to (and that his predecessors did not) and how it has had some unintended consequences on the flow of information and freedom of open debate.  Definitely worth a read!
